  1. This is the code and the diagrams I am saying I am into the infinate system first then I taught someone esle to play and then on another and another ontil we figured out the equation to travel faster than light. You are in a genetic code and if you want to stay alive you have to choose which god you want to idol... Figure it out wisely. In the meantime I am setting up a simple kickstarter that will either choose which one feels right and I will show you thing only in your head but first we have to build the hardware to truly plug into a 3d interactive past future heaven hell battle to see who will win the eternal question should be the eternal battle think you have what it takes then follow my news letter if you cant aford it barrow on from a friend yes the next generation will have even more possibililities to choose from. The restrictive trianary code. The map to find all the easter eggs and credits will be shown now. If you do not understand it is not your turn in line waite your turn because I will catch you on the flip side... Dark and Light which Fea are you build the construct and see... I do not answer question now you had your chance to aske before and everyone was missing they free cheatsheet now find the meaning in the code to get out of the construct. do the math!
  2. I don't think Genady can time travel. You posted your comment "why would a geologist believe the Earth is 5 thousand years old?" after his comment, so it doesn't count as context. There's also the problem that "why would a geologist believe the Earth is 5 thousand years old?" doesn't count as disagreement with the comment "I see a problem with a geologist believing that Earth is 5 thousand years old."
  3. Ok so I'm not a scientist but understand most things like einstine's theory that says travel at the speed of light away from earth and back again and u will arrive in the future so I have a hypothetical question about this. It goes like this if we had a calculation to work out how many light years you would need to travel to how far in the future u go ie. 2 light years away from and back would equal 20 earth years, and if we sent a huge light emmitting miirror in to space and faced it toward earth and used a light emmitting telloscope to focus on the mirror with that mirror being 2 light years from earth if we looked through the telescope would we not see earth 20 years into the future as that would be the time it would take for the light being emmited to travel from the tellescope to the mirror and back to earth
  4. Could these videos be considered evidence of time travel? Is there any evidence for the possibility of time travel or that time travel has actually occurred?
  5. Sure, but the velocity of a boomerang and it's motion (spinning) are different. Velocity is the medium we all travel with in spacetime. Length contraction is relative to the observer as is the slowing of motion that increases with velocity (but there is no actual time travel involved).
  6. It is theorized that, if you can travel faster than light, you can go back in time. Some credence is lent to this theory by the fact that an incredibly small amount of time dilation has been detected in high-speed aircraft. Although traveling faster than light by conventional means is impossible, it is theorized that you might could travel "faster than light" by going through wormholes. Scientists like to describe wormholes as, essentially, "holes" in the space time continuum, essentially shortcuts across the universe. However, taking a shortcut does not amount to faster travel. It may result in reduced travel time, but that is due to reduced distance, not increased speed. If I take a shortcut to the grocery store and get there in five minutes whereas I usually get there in ten, I'm still driving at 35mph all the same. But let's give an example on a larger scale. Let's assume that I'm at Point A, already going at a constant 299,000,000m/s (that's an even-steven 299 million meters per second, slightly below lightspeed, so it's possible under Newtonian physics, even if it would require an absurd amount of energy. Also, the "already" portion is so that we can ignore the need to actually reach top speed), and want to get to Point B, which is 299,000,000 meters away. Let's also assume that Points A and B are opposite sides of a planet (e.g. United States and China) that is precisely 299,000,000 meters in diameter, is a perfect sphere, and conveniently has a tunnel drawn down the middle. At my current speed, I could traverse the tunnel in only one second. To go around the planet in only one second, I would have to travel faster than light. Does that mean that I de facto traveled faster than light? No! It just means I took a shortcut! So, can someone explain to me how going through wormholes to take faster-than-light shortcuts across the universe is supposed to enable actual, bona fide time travel?
  7. Frequency Universe realities Theory There has always been the thought of actions and decisions creating alternate realities. The concept has inspired many sci-fi authors . I am here to tell you , they are wrong , but right at the same time ! Here is why . Everything in reality is based off a primary frequency so objects can interact with each other , hence my typing on this keyboard means there is are similar frequency objects. What if we were to change your personal frequency that is tied to this reality,and change it to another one . Chances are you will end up in a different universe .... but practically the same . Just another frequency reality. Gravity is the key factor of this equation . It is both weak and strong at the same time . No solid evidence to indicate that gravity may permeate through all these frequencies. Which would make it strong and weak by being spread thin to all frequencies of realities. However , it is a concept worth exploring. If the case maybe our existence is not just one frequency , but many , the way we look at the universe and physics maybe wrong . We are always missing equations and tossing in hypothetical solutions that honestly have no place being there . The grandfather effect brings those into light , and yes , are wrong. The concept of life and the universe seems simple . Not blown out of proportion . Why our scientists feel the need to over complicate things is on them . The Frequency universe concept would also ask if travel between frequencies is possible . I think it would . Here is why , matter in it's rare form is highly adaptive . If it was to change locations , more then likely it would adapt to that location . The problem being you would be adding matter to that universe , creating an offset balance . Something would have to be removed. Which brings up an interesting thought. What if it happens naturally , as in every frequency is a wave and once in a while or maybe all the time would interact possibly swapping matter . At this part I giggle , what if the aliens we have had on this planet were from other frequencies. Making them trans-dimensional beings of sorts . Least our current human concept of it would think that , in reality , they would just be another life from another frequency and have mastered the technology to travel between them . What if you did notice a frequency change . Maybe even to the point people you know ; Do not know you . Certain things would catch your eye . Spelling is a primary objective to look at if you feel as though things feel off. People you know and their personalities may have changed even slightly . Oddly enough there are already signs of this effect happening . Example : (Left) Berenstain Bears vs Berenstein Bears (Right) The one on the left is the current way of spelling . However , the one on the right is the one I personally grew up with ; Along with many others .Same is said about the one on the left for many others . There are videos collected by people with both spellings .That is one of many examples currently noticed . Many changes in several languages(English one of the biggest) , products ,etc. With all that in mind, the concept of matter swapping between realities is not far off from real . It would also indicate slight changes between frequency realities. Even a 2% change would eventually be noticed by any that event has happened to . If it was to happen naturally , it would mean the technology to do so also exists. If it proves to be a real , will we possibly start traveling between frequencies one day? Will our concept of space and time be altered? What if time travel wasn't time travel but a frequency change. Example : 2020 in our Frequency, 1970 in the Frequency we traveled to. My personal concept of the frequency scale , time is slightly set back each time you travel down the frequency scale . Forward when going up. Could be by milliseconds . Each time a % changes making it a none consistent reality through all frequencies. The closer to your own frequency , the more likely it will be minor changes. The further would create major changes in several different ways, social , political , total way of life. Maybe even technology. If we did said example and for any reason we are similar in history , more then likely you could run into your young grandparents . Yes they would be family and carry the genetic line you possess . If you killed them it would NOT stop your birth because that is NOT the frequency you were born in. In short , its not really time travel . However you would stop your existence from being conceived in that frequency , and would make a wild matter swap if it happens naturally. Someone who doesn't exist , now exists would create some fun times in those frequencies. What I am referring to has been dubbed the Nelson Mandela Effect . Yes it is real , and yes I feel I found an explanation. There is no magic , no Godly plan . Just basic life sciences. Would a lower species see these things? Probably not . Are we ready for this kind of knowledge? Yes we have a few people with high intelligence that would in turn wrap their heads around it. For the most part , many will not . It will be viewed as sci-fi or hog wash from those animals thinking they are above the rest. Even though the signs are all there and can not be disputed . No I do not have a ton of examples installed into this paper. Easiest way to look it up is by search engine look for Nelson Mandela effect and many will come up. There will always be scientific personal to challenge all science, if we did not, discovery wouldn't be so damn exciting . I challenge all to prove me wrong . If you can not use hard evidence , then don't grief with BS . If I am right , existence as we know it changes!
  8. Discussing the gist of this thread, "Possible alien origins" the choices given were.....Another planetary system: Another plan of existence: Another hidden (deep sea or underground would be possible examples) civilization: Time travelers from the far future: I chose "another planetary system" because of the "near infinite" extent and content of our universe, and the stuff of life being everywhere we look. My thoughts on the resemblance was as follows.... The other interesting thing with regards to time travellers, is that while time travelling, at least to the future is possible, time travel to the past, is well, far less certain, mainly due to the many paradoxes etc that can develop. And in this instant, these time travellers would likely be from the future, (relative to us) and their past, ( relative to them) Still, while wormholes are still a solution of GR, (despite no evidence of them so far) backwards time travel cannot be 100% discounted. I reject the "Another hidden (deep sea or underground would be possible examples) civilization" choice as this seems to apply to our own system, and I'm pretty sure, that intelligent advanced life does not exist there, not withstanding ourselves of course on planet Earth! Simpler forms of life certainly, and probably in the oceans of Europa, the interior of Enceledus, and Titan as candidates. Another plane of existence? That apears a little bit too paranormal and supernatural for my liking. I reject it for no other reason. I concur with the highlighted part. (2) at least not into the past, and obviously that would be the case. (3) Not now, not today, but certainly one day it will be feasible, although some difficulties still to overcome, not the least being helth aspects and radiation. On another note, I would like to see Moontanman back into the fray, and hope that his pain is diminishing somewhat. Perhaps in the new year?
  9. Its obivious that time travel is something that fascinate scifi geeks and not really applicable with current laws of physics but if physics could be viewed from a different point of observation, then it won't be hard for anyone to understand that 'events', past, present and future can all be directly viewed by an advanced particle code breaking computer (apcbc).
  10. Hello All As there seem to be so many conflicting ideas about this subject and because many of these ideas seem to fall into the realm of speculation I decided this was the best place for this post. Various ideas/concepts of time travel seem to have been around on this planet for a very long time so I think I'll skip the history tour. It seems possible as we are travelling forwards in time every unit of time ( split/second, minute, hour day etc ) already that given time dilation/relativity that perhaps in the future we may be able to "jump" forwards in time by varying units of time ( although if future time is being set up each split/unit of time then it is not clear that by jumping too far ahead we may not land in some kind of "as yet undefined state" ? We could end up by jumping forwards to a future time which does not yet exist ?). So forwards time travel may become possible for us in the future BUT we may have a lot of work to do in solveing all the problems. Some have suggested that time is like a loop in the fabric/structure of space time. This may be so and needs further examination. From what I read it also seems to me that even if we could travel to points in time in the past we very likely would only be able to observe and not CHANGE events we witness there. I once had a weird idea (and have since discovered that others have similar ideas ) about time travel and time machines i.e. Imagine a machine ( possibly with computing/storage capacity way beyong any concepts we have now of supercomputing ( millions of cores or perhaps large scale cloud computing, something fast beyond belief almost - Quantum Supercomputing ?) which could take a Universal snapshot of the location/coordinates of every sub atomic particle, atom, electron [matter], force relationship etc in the Universe ( and we haven't covered dark matter, energy etc) every given time period (which could probably be variable). Then there is the idea that each quantized snapshot is sampled and stored in our time machine so we would have a series of everything which has happened since a partcular point in the past when we started sampleing the time snapshots of our Universe. Now we have to somehow merge this series of snap shots with the correspondingly dynamic nature of the space/time continuum and all it's various energy/forces and relative positioning in the continuum. Our time travel pilots so to speak would have to be translated into their quantum particles/sub atomic and atoms/molecules etc.. A complex map like the time travel snapshot series above and merged with the snapshot info above at a particular time in the past ( to come back we kind of reverse the process). We not only have to create our merged snapshot Series we literally have to be able to Manipulate every sub atomic particle, force relationship For all matter ( plus dark energy/matter etc) In the universe ( or perhaps this could be Done locally like only for the areas of space/time affected ?). Definitely sounds to be in the realm of the impossible. I do realise that the above sounds way beyond possibly what science/tecnology could achieve ( in the future who knows ?). Possibly sounds like the movie, The Fly/Time Tunnel. If it were possible to go back and change what happens in the past then we create the various time conundrums/paradoxes (what if I kill my father etc). If such amazing technology were available in the future then it could have other applications like possibly matter transportation/teleportation. I realise the above is highly speculatory just interested to know what others think.
  11. all you need is a MIRROR. It works on the principle that, when you look at yourself in a mirror, you arent seeing YOU, per se, but the BACK IN TIME you. How? When you look at a mirror, the light rays start off at your eyeball, bounce on the mirror, get reflected back off into your eye, thus creating the mirrorical picture you see. Now. it takes TIME for those light rays to do all that stuff, going off your eyes, travelling headfirst into the glass of the mirror with a bang, then painfully lugging the picture off the mirrors surface into your eye again. all this takes time, init? light travels at 3 million miles per second, which means it takes 0.0008763 seconds between the light going outa your eye, and you seeing the YOU in the mirror. in short, you are seeing the YOU that was in existence 0.0008763 seconds in the PAST. you can NEVER see the NOW you. that way, whenever you look in the mirror, you are actually peering INTO THE DARK, SINISTER YAWNING CHASM...OF PAST TIME!!!! mmmm...

  13. [Disclaimer: I don't think time travel is physically possible.] Is splitting of a timeline necessary? I see a scenario without it, I think. A guy travels from year 2022 to year 1922, kills his ancestor, travels from 1922 to 2022, and finds a world, where he never existed. His history line is self-consistent: born, travel, kill, travel. The world's history line is self-consistent: somebody appeared from nowhere in 1922, killed a person, then somebody appeared from nowhere in 2022. No split, just a "loop".
  14. Why do all the speculations concerning the possibility of 'time travel' presume a non-dynamic staring point, when there is no such thing? Any point on Terra is moving. It is rotating in relation to the planet's axis. It is orbiting our sun. Our sun is orbiting the center of the Milky Way, the Milky Way is moving closer to Andromena, and our glactic cluster as a whole is moving toward a point behind the Virgo Cluster. The total sum of these velocities might be something like 1/35 C. Wouldn't it stand to reason that if you were to travel 35 seconds into the past, you would reappear into empty space approx. 186,000 miles ahead of where you were, and if you stayed in place, 35 seconds latter you would be right back to when and where you were? aguy2
  15. Are ghosts a result of time travel?
  16. we all know of the mother paradox regarding time travel.what if I say that we don't travel to our own past........rather we travel to an alternate universe where the time is running behind our time.then there is no chance any paradox.........
  17. http://estfuture.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-travel-theory-in-english.html Got the idea somewhat again at nigh time when i couldnt sleep, so i wrote it down - there are lots of similar ones but does any of them actually see it that way?
  18. 28 Oct. 2011 Here is my exposition on "Time Travel" and the "Multiple Universe" theory. When I first heard of theorists talking about this I was kind of disgusted. I thought maybe some of them were taking one too many nips from the ole' sauce, but now I am even more impressed with their vision and genius to be able to extrapolate this. But as I examined my mathematics, I suddenly realized what they were seeing. I constantly check my work with the experimental fact and what current theories are predicting to gauge the correspondence of my own mathematics. a: They are talking about time travel to not this world, but to a parallel world. b: And they are also talking about an infinite amount of parallel universes in the "Metaverse." a: Could be true. b: Could be true. Let me tell you why through what I see. This can all be possible dependent on where we are on the number line (reference www.zero-2-one.com for a further explanation on this line). All of the above scenarios are dependent if we exist on this line, or in this line. If we live on this line, nothing is greater, we are seeing the Universe in its full glory, but if we live in this line, and dependent on how "deep" in the line, there could be an infinite amount of "universes" above. I think a little bit more explanation on this line is warranted than what I gave with the above link. With this number line, every point is a possibility. Now stretch out every point to so it is approaching zero, every point on every point you just stretched out is also a possibility, now stretch every one of those points out so it's approaching zero. You can do this forever. Alright, time travel. Time travel is possible with time control; and only possible if we live in the line. If we live in the line we could "jump" to a "higher" dimension, but if we live on the line there is no place to jump, therefore time travel is not possible, although time control still is. When you jump to the higher dimensional universe, you will be able to see your previous universe completely and be able to control it's time. What about the "Grandfather Paradox?" When you jump, you removed yourself from that system, since that system is part of a greater system the "arrow of time" is still moving "forward" regardless of how you manipulate the time within the system you just left. Meaning you can't erase history, but you can rearrange all of the particles inside this system to "emulate" the system's history with the future evolving with or without you. The number of parallel worlds is dependent in which way you jump. If you jump towards One, there will be less and less possibilities as you jump, the sum has to equal the Universe, but if you jump towards Zero, the number of these possibilities will increase. I don't know how "you" could jump towards zero though, unless you sent a nano sized doppelganger of yourself, since if you would jump, your mass would probably create a black hole in their universe. And I don't know the effectiveness of jumping towards One either, since your mass would not change, it's not like you would all of sudden increase in mass and energy. My point was just to talk about the realm of possibility, not the realm of practicality or feasibility. Where do I think we exist? I think we exist on the line. I have no proof, since I don't really know what I'm looking for yet, but since I don't know, why not pick the greatest version? I'm not complaining, just inquiring why this was moved. I thought Time Travel and Parallel Worlds was being discussed in Main Stream theoretical physics. I mean if people can talk about "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" and "Super String Theory" I thought I could talk about this. Was it because I sound like a "know it all?" Or because it's based on non-conventional mathematics? Or because I referenced my webpage? Or because you don't know how I'm coming to these conclusions? Because according to your own stipulations "Please note that all posts that are baseless in scientific fact or that are outside of mainstream physics can and will be moved to the Speculations forum. Make sure that you think about the nature of your post before you hit the "post" button," I satisfy at least one condition. I don't want to put myself in a adversarial position so please let me know, so I can discuss issues in a way that I won't be removed. Thank you.
  19. This model of time is one of many. It is used in simple, Newtonian physics. It may correspond to some people's conception of time, but not all. Are you aware of other models of time? Why have you just described this one which is, as you say, limited and incomplete? This is an example of the fallacy of begging the question: A: Time travel must be impossible B: Why is it impossible? A: Because we cannot go forward or backward in time B: Why can't we go backward and forward in time A: Because because time is a linear concept (in other words, because time travel is impossible) But then you say: "The linear space-time concept is visibly presented in almost everywhere apart from the Nature. Unfortunately, it is limited and paints a partial worldview of the world or universe." So time is not, according to you, just a linear concept. Does this mean that time travel might be possible after all? And, of course, in the "linear time model" we continuously go forward in time. An interesting idea. But there are all sorts of problems with this. Energy (like length and time) is an observer dependent value. Also the rate of energy use of a cat will depend on many factors such its level of activity or the environment. But maybe you should think about the related concept of entropy. That is considered by some to be the reason why we percieve time to be linear and to only go in one direction. A lot of modern physics does not use this simplistic model though. Time can be treated as another coordinate, like the spacial ones, to locate events. For example, of you want to meet somebody you need to specify four co-ordinates (xy,z,t) such as latitude, longitude, altitude and date & time. Time can be observer dependent. It can vary depending on gravitational potential. In some areas of physics, time reversal symmetry is important.
  20. Okay so my theory on time travel is; when approaching the event horizon of a black hole( if you can even make it that far without whatever space craft your traveling in being stretched to it's absolute limit then being torn apart and swallowed) time seems to slow down untill it eventually almost seems to stop, but in reality, in the event horizon times seems to move at normal speed inside of it.But, on the outside looking in it looks as if your not moving at all. The laws of space time break down at the event horizon breaks down becuase there virtually is none. So, when you got back to earth you'd be in the future because you were basically in a place where time stopped or just didn't really exist, but on Earth, everything was still moving and time did work. I'd really like to hear opinions on this topic!
  21. Okay so I have this theory (LOL) ... Actually its a fact. All of us are in a different "time" than when we were born. Movement and height changes throughout our life push us forward in time. I just flew around the world, eastward. And I just read in an article that doing this trips you up by about 0.0347 nanoseconds. So technically I have traveled forward in time in relation to the rest of you. So here's my question. It was stated in the same article that if the difference in time could be extended to 2 or 3 minutes, we would "Meet ourself". Maybe that statement is wrong, but at some point you differentiate from yourself. Physically, you would have to become two bodies. And I guess that's my first question. Why? More importantly is my second question ... You can't say that this "separation" from ones-self only happens at a certain stage. If its true for 2-3 minutes then its true for nanoseconds. That means there SHOULD BE an undetectable change happening in all of us, the longer we live, that we are literally splitting off from ourselves. And this isnt science fiction mumbo jumbo. This would have to be a fact. Physical duplication in microscopic levels. Pile that up across 37 years of movement, arline flights, and living for years in a skyrise above the rest of the population, and you've got a person who *SHOULD* be detaching from himself .... PHYSICALLY! So why isn't that happening? Wouldn't that kill me? Make me sick? At the very least psychologically something should be happening. Something has to be wrong with this theory of time travel. If the theory were true, all of us would be slightly - PHYSICALLY - warped looking. And a final thought. Maybe this is what Deja Vu is ..................................................... I mean why not. If one is experiencing some sort of detachment where he perceives time in two different levels, just moments apart, wouldn't it stand to reason that you'd sometimes experience something immediately before it happens? Comments?
  22. possibilities: if you were going to travel to the past and visit yourself in lets say new year's 2005. you would see yourself before you even travel back in time because in the future you time traveled back to yourself so for the traveler you see yourself when you were younger and to the person who has not traveled[ which is still you] would see you as an older self. Impossibilities: if you wanted to pass away deliberately [A.K.A suicidal person] a different way than usual lets say you travel back in time 10 minutes then you drown your past self that would not be possible because you died 10 minutes earlier so you would not have a chance to go back in time[ even if it was possible your future self is still alive]. Unless you still travel back in time but decide not to drown yourself.
  23. Hi, Some astronomers and psycisists theorise around the possibilty of time travel, one example is the concept of a block universe (which I do not agree with!), where all events that have ever happened or will happen continue to exist in an infinity of identical universes. As far as we know there have never been any evidence of time travellers coming to our present from the past or the future. However,maybe an civilisation a billion years in advance of our own might have solved the problem? What is your position on the matter?
